Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

Theres already some great answers to your actual question, but id like to add some context to the underlying question.
Firefox now does tab containerisation by default. Cookies are only shared between tabs for the same domain. This defeats the main problem with cookies - tracking you around the web.
Theres an addon called "i still dont care about cookies" which just accepts cookies dialogs, because there's no good reason not to accept them really.
LibreWolf (or other plugins for firefox) can purge cookies when you exit, but having to log in to everything every time really sucks when a lot of sites are only doing email 2fa now.
More recently, sites track you with fingerprinting which is very difficult to defeat. Sites gather all sorts of information about your device and use it to identify you. LibreWolf is hardened against this but my browser is still "unique" when tested.
